Simplify Your Employee Incentive

Chances are, your employees are drowning in email, text, social media and other information every day. They’re overloaded by business processes run amok — and it’s not healthy for them or your business.

You’re not alone if your company’s work processes are too complicated (and too hard to communicate). A recent Bersin by Deloitte report found that more than 70 percent of organizations surveyed rated the need to simplify work as an important problem. What’s more, 74 percent of respondents rated their work environment as complex or highly complex.

There’s no denying that email bogs down employees and their workflow. Employees receive hundreds of emails every week, yet 50 percent of those surveyed in the EMPLOYEE app’s Mobile Trends in the Workplace survey said they still feel out of the loop. What’s more, 30 percent of respondents said they ignore emails from their employer.

How to fix it: Challenge employees to cut-down on their digital communication in favor of good old-fashioned face-to-face interaction.
